Debunked: Did Drake actually throw a sandal at a drone or was it all staged?

A video has gone viral which shows a drone stalking Drake at his penthouse in Sydney, and considering it’s all a bit jarring and Drake launches a flip flop at the flying camera. With the worst throw on earth. This has of course gone mega viral, but there are conflicting reports on whether the entire Drake drone saga is legit or if it’s all staged. Here’s what’s gone down and the evidence for whether Drake staged the drone video and what the hell is all going on with it.

Drake is currently in Australia on tour. The viral video shows a drone retreating from the penthouse balcony of a property in Sydney, with an open laptop. The drone zooms out as the rapper emerges and appears to be horrified by the drone, where he panics and launches a sandal at it with the WORST throw you have ever seen in your life.

However, eagle eyed debunkers have spotted the Drake drone saga is maybe staged because you can see another guy on the balcony seemingly controlling the drone.

One video of the reply shows the reflection and there’s another guy on the balcony that you can’t see at first, unless you look closely.

Comments reacting to the viral saga have been actually quite hilarious, with most believing it to be staged.Comments included: “This is so staged, it’s insulting he thought we would believe this;”

“You know how Drake never looks in the mirror? He doesn’t know how reflections work. This ain’t even a troll, you can actually see the drone operator in the video.”

The main theory behind the video and why it might have been staged is it’s a covert advert for Stake, an online crypto casino that Drake has an affiliation with. It’s a real saga.

Whether that terrible aim was staged or not however remains to be seen.
